Do you need a Guinea-Bissau business visa?
British passport holders need a visa for business visits to Guinea-Bissau. We confirm the current process for your trip before applying.
What counts as a business visit?
Business visits usually include:
- Meetings with clients, suppliers or partners
- Conferences, exhibitions and trade fairs
- Negotiating or signing contracts
- Site visits and inspections
They don't include taking up paid work for a company in Guinea-Bissau. That needs a work visa or permit.
Documents for a Guinea-Bissau business visa
The key document is the invitation letter from the company you're visiting. It should include your name and passport number, the purpose and dates of your visit, the company's address and contact details, and who is paying for the trip. A letter from your UK employer confirming your role helps too.
